Figure 4 Follow-up (FU) examination demonstrating pattern of bone healing. (A) Border of fracture is sharply edged, with a (*) loss of density in the fracture gap. (B) Border of fracture with (red arrow) dimly visible edges and slightly increasing density of fracture gap. (C) Commencing consolidation with (°) increasing density in fracture gap. (D) Concentration of density in the ulnar part of fracture (yellow arrow) and maximal osseous integration in the radial part of fracture compared to previous examinations. A similar consolidation pattern was seen on the ulna.
